Some $250,000 will be used to build facilities to deliver the water from the Colorado River. The remaining $500,000 will be for purchase of the water from the Metropolitan Water District.
Construction will start within 30 days with pumping of water into Lake Elsinore shceduled to begin about mid-Feburary, according to Frank DePasquale, a director of the Elsinore park board. The lake will take about 45 days to fill, he said.
The loan from the Division of Small Craft Harbors will be repaid by the state, Riverside County and the Elsinore Recreation and Park District.
The former resort lake, which became part of the state park system in 1957, only twice has had an appreciable amount of water in the last 12 years because of the changing water patterns of the San Jacinto River, which feeds it.
